Comic Talk and General Discussion

Not my parents house, the house I rent is being sold out from under me. I have until the end of August to find somewhere else to live and be out. I'm an artist and a bartender, my roommate and I can't afford much, we were lucky to find this place. Now we are screwed. We don't want to move out into the stix, but we'll never find anything this close to the city again. We live right outside D.C., which is a terrible housing market to be shopping in. Anyone have any suggestions? Mostly I just wanted to rant. :-(

Realistically I'm not going to move right now. I am trying to make it with art, but most of my money comes from my night job bartending. If I moved I would need a new job, and I wouldn't make the same kind of tips I do here. I make far more than the average income for a bartender, since it's an afluent area. I used to live in a place with really affordable housing, but the jobs available didn't make much money at all. Basically if I moved I'd pay less rent, but I'd also make less, so it doesn't really matter.

End of August? Wow, that's a lot more forwarning than you get in Florida. If you're renting a house in Florida and the owner decides to sell, you have 3 Days to be moved out, or they can take all the items still left in your house as their own property. :0

But Yeah, DC area is really, really overpriced… I hope you have good luck house/apartment hunting Alexis.

Yes I used to live in North Hollywood next to a roadie… Lets just say after awhile his party started to leak over into my yard, which resulted in me packing EVERYTHING I own, finding an apartment, and then moving into said apartment in under three days. And this was last august literally the day I got back from Comic Con!

After an intitial lol, I tried to brainstorm ideas to help out. DC's a rough area to be in without a place to stay. As someone whose spent some nights sleeping in alleys, I know what I mean when I say sleeping in a car is better than nothing.

You shoulda known better than to rent. Always try to own. Then all you have to do is pay taxes.

Best I got is like LeFarce suggests, stay with a friend or relative until you get stuff sorted out.
